Seems that Roberts’ valuation has been suppressed to make the nett deal 50m plus Roberts. It’s a 60m deal. Roberts should really be a 15m player at least. Many of our deals are non disclosed - this may be another although as it will be a record for Man City they really should be announcing the valuation.

Isn't our policy still that all our deals are undisclosed but the buying/selling club just announce it anyway? I'm sure Chelsea disclosed what they'd spent on Kante + Drinkwater.

1972 Fox Posted 9 July 2018 Share Posted 9 July 2018 (edited) The reality is that none of us actually know what the fee is, and are unlikely to find out as it will probably be announced as undisclosed. The only thing we'll have to go on is the press speculation that it is a £60m deal, which if true is too low as the fee should be upwards of £80m IMO.

I personally think he’ll make that next step up having the defensive shackles cut I think he'll be a starter. Sane on one wing, Mahrez on the other. It's a long season, with a lot of games. Reality is that it's a squad game now and no player can play at their best week in week out. When the trophies are decided, clubs are playing midweek, and the weekend so he'll probably get rotated a bit with Sterling and form will decide who starts. My money would be on Mahrez starting most games. Does look like it's happening now. Hope you wont hate us now! It will make for two interesting games when we play you in the league. I'd imagine his first big game for Man City will be Arsenal in the Community Shield. £67m is a lot of money and will be Man City's record deal by far, although like you guys, the figures I am seeing seem to change by 10m every other day. I'd guess that there will be a lot of add-ons involved. I think Man City are trying for one other big deal: Jorginho from Napoli to replace Yaya. (Fernandinho is 33 I think). I am thinking that Liverpool and Utd are going to be the biggest spenders of this window. Man City are going to have a net spend of about £70-£80m I reckon as we are selling a lot of players. Gunn, Maffeo, Roberts, Kayode I am confident about the new season. Last time we won the league we dropped off the next season, but I am more confident that attitude will be better this time. Players know that if their form dips, they will lose their starting place. I'll probably leave it there if this deal goes through, but I'll be back when we play you again.

Best wishes I'm pleased he has finally got his move. On his day, he is unplayable and will be one of your best players. You've got a bargain there my friend.
